Trump Suggests 'Peace Council' Could Replace UN

Donald Trump made a surprise appearance at the White House daily press briefing to celebrate one year since his inauguration. During the briefing, Trump presented a pamphlet titled “365 Wins in 365 Days” and focused on his anti-immigration agenda, threatening states protesting ICE actions. However, his statements regarding the UN were shocking. Trump labeled the UN “useless” and suggested that his created “Peace Council” could replace it. He argued that the UN has failed to live up to expectations and that he has resolved wars the UN could not. Furthermore, Trump avoided directly answering questions about Greenland, hinting at further actions. He also mentioned NATO, claiming the US has contributed significantly to the organization, but questioned whether allies would do the same for the US. Trump touched on issues such as the Supreme Court, tariffs, and the situation in Venezuela, while reiterating his criticism of the UN’s ineffectiveness and the need for a new approach to global peace and security.
